In this article, our Environmental Taxes team describes the plastic packaging tax which will come into effect in the UK on 1 April 2022, including who will be affected, what their obligations will be, and what they will need to do in order to comply.

The digitalisation of indirect tax compliance

06 October 2021

Governments are increasingly leveraging technology to collect tax revenues, crack down on fraud and investigate compliance errors. This trend is most evident in the number of new ‘data-led’ compliance obligations being placed on the taxpayer. These data-led obligations frequently disclose transaction level information. As a result, the records submitted and retained, in case of audit, need to be more accurate than ever before.

PwC COP26 ESG Webcast - 13 October 2021

11 October 2021

On the 1st of November the world’s attention will turn to Glasgow, where world leaders will come together for the 26th Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, also known as COP26. As we step into this defining decade of ambition and action, the tax system is a key lever that will be utilised to achieve ambitions. So, the way organisations manage their tax affairs is increasingly important and a key aspect of this is understanding, and responding appropriately to, the changing tax and fiscal landscape. Against this backdrop, PwC will be hosting a live webcast on 13 October at 09.30 (UK) during which our speakers will bring their perspective on how we expect the COP26 agenda to unfold, as well as uncovering the ways in which it will set the future framework for the tax system.
